MY PRETTY || Tokyo Revengers

- 53 -

It's late in the evening and you, your brothers, Kakucho, Sanzu, and Takeomi are all hanging out in the hideout when Kakucho recalls the drinking game the two of you were yet to play.

"I think we should all join in," Sanzu cuts in, grinning suspiciously.

"What've you got up your sleeve 'Princess Bubblegum'?" Ran asked, tilting his head slightly.

"Well it's not a knife, I can tell you that Rannabelle," he snickered as Rindo laughed quietly next to him on the couch.

"White wine or beer?" Takeomi asked, getting up from the couch.

Ran scrolled through his phone, not bothering to look up as he replied, "White wine improves heart health."

"Ohoho look at this Einstein wannabe," Kakucho teased, grinning at Ran slyly.

Ran sent him a brief glance and a playful wink in response before going back to his phone as Takeomi returned, a bottle of white wine and two glasses in one hand as the other skillfully held five glasses.

You all waited as Takeomi poured everyone a drink, glass half full as he handed one to each of you. When everyone had a glass, Takeomi volunteered to go first for 'Never Have I Ever'.

"Easy start, never have I ever hooked up with someone drunk," he said.

You lifted the glass to your lips, eyes locked with Koko as you both took a sip. You nearly choked on your drink when Ran and Kakucho as well as Rindo and Sanzu took a sip as well while Takeomi stared at all of you, dumbfounded.

You laughed, swirling your drink. "I'll go next. Never have I ever snorted someone's ashes."

Rindo choked, quickly grabbing a glass of water as he half laughed half coughed while Sanzu squinted at you before taking a sip.

"Never have I ever stolen someone's black card to buy drugs," Koko cut in, hawk-like gaze piercing into Sanzu who smiles at him innocently before taking a sip.

"Never have I ever kissed my best friend while they were sleeping in the library," Sanzu countered as Koko choked on his wine halfway through mindlessly drinking.

"Wait a minute, who did you kiss?" You asked, furrowing your brows.

"Ohoho, I wonder who~" Sanzu grinned.

"No one," Koko muttered, looking away from you as he took a sip of his drink.

"I'll go next," Kakucho said, straightening up in his seat before his eyes were dead set on Ran. "Never have I ever closed someone's eyes thinking they were dead.

This time you were the one choking on your drink as Ran began to sweat visibly.

After about an hour or so of playing the drinking game, everyone was starting to head home. You were gonna stay a bit longer and Kakucho decided to accompany you.

Almost everyone had already left and now Ran and Rindo were leaving too. You waved them goodbye and watched as Kakucho stepped forward, eyes trained on your oldest brother.

"Be careful," he grinned as Ran turned to him suspiciously. "Rest well you two."

A light blush spread across Ran's face before he speed walked out of the room, leaving you and Kakucho laughing as Rindo snickered before following.

"Real smooth, Kakucho," you smiled, wiping a tear.

Kakucho winked at you playfully before beginning to clean up the glasses and empty bottles of wine.

"I can't believe you hooked up with my brother," you blurted, joining him in cleaning up the VIP room.

"So did Sanzu," he retorted.

"Well I saw those two coming," Kakucho gave you a look as your jaw dropped. "Not like that!"

He laughed loudly, clutching his stomach. "I know! I'm messing with you."

"You motherfucker," you growled playfully, nudging him with your elbow as he laughed.

"So you and Koko hooked up," he said.

You nodded, "A couple of times, most of which were while we were drunk."

"So nothing serious?"

"Mhm, what about you and Ran?" You asked.

Kakucho shrugged, avoiding your gaze. "Dunno."

"What do you mean you don't know?" Your brows furrowed in confusion.

He let out a heavy sigh. "You know your brother. He sleeps around with women all the time."

"And yet, you're the only man he's ever slept with," you pointed out, observing his reaction carefully.

He paused, as if the fact had just clicked in his head, and you watched in amusement as the tips of his ears turned red.

"Oh," was his creative reply.

"Oh indeed," you retorted playfully. "It never hurts to try, you might not get the result you desire but an answer is better than none."

"I don't think I'm ready for that," he sighed, slumping down on the couch and using his arm to shield his eyes from the ceiling lights.

You hummed, nodding your head. "I understand, don't push yourself Kakucho."

"I won't," he smiled.

A week had gone by since you visited the pet shop and you wanted to visit again, even if you thought it wasn't the best idea.

You just had to remind yourself that you were there for Chifuyu and not Baji. Kazutora was eh, he didn't seem to be very fond of you despite you bailing him out of juvie and you're not quite sure why.

The bell chimed as you entered, sunlight peering into the shop through the glass windows. You spotted Chifuyu handling a customer and decided to walk over.

"So I'll need to get him on scheduled checkups?" The woman asked.

Chifuyu nodded, smile as charming as ever. "That's right, since he's still a puppy he hasn't completed his shots so you'll need those too."

"Got it, thank you Matsuno-san." The woman smiled, waving as she exited the shop.

Chifuyu finally noticed your presence, waving at you with a smile. "Hey Y/N!"

"Morning Chifuyu," you smiled back. "Any new ones today?"

He nodded. "A few puppies, theres one thats been a bit of a handful though."

"Oh? How so?" You tilted your head slightly.

"Poor little guy is terrified, Baji-san's been trying to calm it down but even he can't approach it. And Kazutora's the best with dogs but he isn't in today."

"Baji is here?" You asked.

"Yeah he's out back, you gonna head over?" He asked.

You shrugged, walking to the back. "I don't see why not."
